Background:

Obesity may establish a crucial barrier for effective fertility treatment in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) females.

The PCOS were further stratified into non-obese and Obese according to the South Asian criteria for body mass index. Results were categorized on the basis of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) and transvaginal scan into non-pregnant (β-hCG< 25 mIU/ml), preclinical abortion (β-hCG> 25 mIU/ml with no fetal cardiac activity) and clinical pregnancy (β-hCG> 25 mIU/ml with fetal cardiac activity on transvaginal scan).
